Villa linked with move for League One defender

Aston Villa are one of three Championship clubs interested in signing Fleetwood Town left-back Amari’i Bell, according to a report from the Birmingham Mail.

The 23-year-old is also a target for his former club Birmingham City as well as Norwich so Villa will face competition for his services should they decide to act on their interest.

The left-back was released by Birmingham back in 2015 having made just one first-team appearance but after two very good seasons in League One, he’s apparently back in their radar.

He played 53 games for The Trawlermen last season, in which he scored three goals and had six assists.

According to the report, a number of Premier League sides have also scouted Bell but a move to the Championship seems more likely for him at this stage of his career.

Birmingham are the favourites to get him, but a deal is by no means certain so there is still a chance that he could join Villa.
